Greg Howson over at guardian.co.uk has taken a look at the competition WoW has got coming at it this year. When you see some of the titles due for release in the next few months, you can’t help wondering what’s going to happen. Will WoW simply shrug it off, like it did with LOTRO, or will it be taking some direct hits to its subscriber base? Can a game with over 10 million subscribers ever be toppled?
And it’s not just Conan and Warhammer that may threaten to take WoW’s crown, LOTRO is getting a chunky new update later this year, and there’s NCsoft’s Aion which looks very interesting (not to mention their MMO planned for 2009 on the PS3).
Or maybe the Free-to-Play model will come into its own this year and grab a large proportion of online gamers, who knows, but one thing is for certain - as the game companies try to out-do each other with better and better games, it’s us who will benefit 
[QUOTE=det;4122764]So - since I am so immersed in WoW, have many ppl I play with in the game and am looking forward to WotLK - why should I change to another game? And this ofc lead to the point where I am not even informed what games are out there.
I wonder if there aren’t like 5 Million others who think and feel like that ? :grin:
I tend to be the same way. I play one game until I tire of it and then take a break or look for another. As of now, WoW still has my attention.
